non-famous actor

"Haha..., that's true!" Yu Dong thought for a while and smiled heartily.

"Oh, by the way, Haozi, now that there is a news page, how many performance contracts do you think we will receive?"

"How many copies?

I don't know, it depends on whether the lead Tom Cruise is strong enough?If he is strong, the rest of the people can basically keep up.

However, Lao Yu, I have received another performance contract. "

"Oh..., whose?"

"Li Lianjie."

"he……"

Yu Dong was taken aback for a moment, everyone transited from Hong Kong Island together, and they were all seated in the business class, did he not say that he came to Sun Hao for resources? !

"Haozi, you agree?"

"Is it a promise?"

"Oh, how do you say it?"

The word "calculate" made Yu Dong suddenly curious.

"Steven Spielberg likes a movie script "Munich" I created very much. I talked to Zeng Li last time, and I agreed to transfer it to him. Today, this guy came to sign the contract.

And with Steven Spielberg, and his buddy Time Warner COO John Stankey..."

"Time Warner?"

Yu Dong was surprised. In the industry, everyone knew that Sun Hao's partners were very stable. In China, they were China Film, Bona Pictures, and Yinghuang Entertainment, while in the United States, they were Miramax Pictures and Columbia Pictures.

Unexpectedly, Sun Hao has now connected with another film and television company.

"Yes, Time Warner!

This company has a big IP called "Batman", and Time Warner's chief operating officer John Stankey hopes that I can take over and direct this series of movies. "

"You agreed?" Yu Dong asked after rolling his eyes.

"Not yet, isn't it time to negotiate conditions? And Li Lianjie is one of the conditions."

"Jet Li as Batman?"

At this moment, Yu Dong really admired Sun Hao's brain.

"Why, can't you?"

Sun Hao smiled and didn't speak any more.

Sometimes, people are always used to fixed thinking. Superheroes are all Westerners, while Chinese superheroes are only Sun Wukong.

But if you break this fixed thinking, you may usher in a new world, for example, "Kung Fu Panda" Po's father turned out to be a croaking duck...

……

Before coming, the board of directors of the company asked someone to do a professional assessment!

From James Cameron, Steven Spielberg..., to the cutting-edge British director Christopher Nolan.

Evaluate these directors' professional ability, professionalism, control over the overall budget, and ability to control various big-name actors.

Contrary to the expectations of the board, among these directors, Sun Hao, a young director from China, scored the highest.

The first is budget execution.Since his debut, Sun Hao has not only never exceeded his budget, but also has a surplus every time.Just like the movie "The Fast and the Furious", with an investment of 1.9 million US dollars, the crew still has 3100 million US dollars left to spend. It is said that his next movie "The Hangover" will be shot with this money.

In stark contrast to this, is James Cameron. When this dude makes a movie, his "budget overrun" ability will definitely make a big Hollywood movie investor carry a hemp rope to hang himself on the southeast branch.

The second is professional ability.This is very easy to evaluate, nothing more than word of mouth and box office.In terms of these two aspects, Sun Hao's ability goes without saying. From "Saw" to "The Martian" just released, one is counted as one, and the word-of-mouth and movie box office are both top and top strong.

And "The Martian" is still the second highest-grossing movie in history.

Once again, it is the mastery of big actors.In this respect, Sun Hao is slightly weaker, and he has not had the opportunity to show this ability, because the person who cooperated with him before, the biggest guy is Yi Long.

……

Compared with the above-mentioned basic evaluation items, as a director, Sun Hao has another ability that other directors do not have, and that is the promotion and distribution of movies.

"Kun Chi Yan", a supernatural event, was reported by various media in the world; "Train to Busan", 20 Seoul youths took to the streets to march, the first time in history that there was such a large-scale action to protest the release of a movie...

Just as I was thinking, the street cafe arrived.

I made an appointment with Sun Hao to meet here.

Pushing the door and getting out of the car, and straightening his clothes, John Stankey, Chief Operating Officer of Time Warner, followed behind his friend Steven Spielberg, and entered the cafe with a smile on his face.

"Hi, Sun!"

"Hello, Steven."

Although the two met for the first time, they hugged and exchanged greetings like old friends, and even had a kiss.

"Hi, Director Sun Hao, I'm John Stankey, currently working for Time Warner."

"Hi, I'm Sun Hao!"

Compared with just now, the two people were much more formal. They shook hands and smiled, then each took a step back and sat opposite the coffee table.

"Steven, this is the copyright assignment contract for the movie script "Munich". You can take it back and ask a lawyer to study it. If there are no problems, just sign it and fax it to me."

"OK, all right!"

Steven Spielberg was a little excited, glanced at the contract text, and put it in his carry-on bag.

When I go back today, I should be ready to prepare for this movie!

"Director Sun Hao, "Munich", our company also studied it at the time, and found that the script of this movie is really good. Why didn't you keep it and shoot it yourself?"

Unlike other people who like to go straight to the point, in terms of negotiation, John Stankey prefers to be roundabout. He will start with the topic that the other party is most interested in, from shallow to deep, and take his time.

"Mainly because I don't have time!"

Sun Hao smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Mr. John Stankey, now my work schedule is full, tomorrow "The Hangover" will start shooting, and the shooting time will be about half a month.

After the filming is completed, I will take "Fast and Furious" and "The Hangover" back to China for post-production editing.Like "Fast and Furious", it is very strict in post-production special effects.

Next, I will direct a party about the bid to host the Olympic Games, and then I will go to Taiwan Province of my country to film the TV series "Prison Break" that has been in preparation for more than half a year..."

John Stankey regretted it a little.

His grandma has a leg, and Sun Hao is such a thug. First, he portrays himself as a very busy person. If he is invited to direct a movie, he must offer a higher price.

Eh..., if I had known this, I should have directly pointed out the purpose of coming just now.

However, John Stankey is not a vegetarian either. He turned the coffee cup in his hand and asked with a smile:

"Director Sun Hao, you are so sure that Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and others will take over your latest movie "The Hangover".

If they don't accept it, I think your film will not be able to shoot normally tomorrow, right? "

"Have!"

Sun Hao answered very positively.

Chapter 557 A chance encounter?

Santa Monica, only a 10-minute drive from Beverly Hills, has become the most popular leisure beach for Hollywood stars with its convenient transportation.

The spacious sandy beach, the blue Pacific Ocean, and the relaxed atmosphere are home to a number of high-end seaside resort hotels, like Third Street, which is an ideal place for shopping and dining, and there are many luxury brands.

Very resolutely rejected Sun Hao's invitation to participate in his meeting with Steven Spielberg and John Stankey, Zeng Li drove here with Jin Jingji, ready to take a sea bath and celebrate the super long The beginning of the holidays.

When you come to the beach, put on the three-point swimsuit that you have prepared a long time ago, and show your figure in the sun.

Of course, before going into the water, Zeng Li also took adequate sun protection measures. First, she applied sunscreen all over her body, and then her face and hands, so that she looked like a "white-faced man".Hmm... a little scary.

But after getting into the water, Zeng Li felt much happier. Like a happy fish, she swam freely. She swam near the shore for a while as a warm-up, and then swam farther and farther...

It didn't take long, like 15 minutes, Zeng Li even swam to the position of the floating platform, took the swimming ring thrown by Jin Jingji from the speedboat, and she floated on the water to enjoy sunbathing, and her skills were quite mature.

But as he drifted away, Zeng Li felt something was wrong.

Hey... there's someone next to me.

He opened his eyes and turned his head to look. Sure enough, there was a blonde beauty on the left who was doing the same movements as himself, sitting and floating in a huge swimming ring.

"Hello, hello Zeng."

The way the blond beauty greets her is a bit ridiculous. They use both Chinese and English. Of course, the Chinese is spoken in a stuttering manner.

"Hello."

Zeng Li speaks English.

Jin Jingji, the bodyguard, driver and English teacher, said that it is not terrible to be teased by others when learning a foreign language. The terrible thing is that you dare not open your mouth. If you do not open your mouth, you will never learn a foreign language well.

Therefore, even if she is not fluent in speaking, Zeng Li still has to speak English in front of foreigners.

"Don't you know me, Zeng?"

The blond beauty blinked, expressing curiosity.

"Sorry, maybe it's because I don't watch enough Hollywood movies, I really can't remember who you are?"

"Haha..." the blond beauty laughed.

"Zeng, it seems that you don't pay much attention to Hollywood gossip.

If you pay attention, you will definitely know that I am the woman Nicole Kidman who is about to be abandoned by Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. "

"Uh……"

Zeng Li was a little confused!

You talk like this, how should I answer it?I can't say that he abandoned you, right?

"Zeng, director Sun Hao treats you well?"

"pretty good!"

"Then..., has he ever cheated?"

With long legs raised and arms outstretched, the blond beauty sitting in the swimming circle seemed to be familiar with herself, and she didn't have the slightest awareness that she shouldn't inquire about other people's privacy.

"Um……"

Zeng Li thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Maybe!

But I don't mind too much, because Sun Hao is very responsible, he treats me and my family very well.

If I find another man, maybe he is not as good as Sun Hao. "

The truth is, this question has been in Zeng Li's mind for a long time. After all, in the past two years, there have been a lot of rumors about Sun Hao in the entertainment industry.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, the blond beauty laughed again: "Zeng, let me tell you, I have also thought so for the past ten years, as long as a man treats me well and is serious and responsible, I will pretend that I don't know anything else.

But in the end, what happened?

It's not like a shoe worn by a man, just throw it away. "

What's the matter with this man?

Zeng Li was displeased by the [heartfelt] words of the blond beauty.

People are different, you can't compare Tom Cruise with Sun Hao, even though he is a long-established Hollywood superstar.

Perhaps seeing Zeng Li's expression was wrong, the blond beauty Nicole Kidman immediately made it clear.

"Zeng, when you appeared on the beach just now, you were seen by Tom Cruise under the umbrella, so he sent me to ask you something?"

"Oh... you say?"

"Is the movie 'The Hangover' really starting tomorrow?"

"Yup!"

"But the leading actors haven't officially signed a contract with Director Sun Hao?"

"What does that matter?" Zeng Li asked back.
